Marcia Squier on Drugs

Cannabis is a life-saving drug and must be legalized

Q: Do you support or oppose the statement, "Marijuana is a gateway drug"?

A: Strongly oppose. Cannabis is a life-saving drug and must be fully, retroactively legalized. In fact, the entire War on Drugs must end, treating drug addictions as a medical issue as opposed to a criminal one.

Legalization will help utilize the endless benefits of pot

I want less regulation and more freedom for cannabis, hemp, and the people who use it. I want full, federal retroactive legalization for all. Adults 18+ should be able to freely grow it and use it, and claim it as legal income if they sell it.
People under 18 should be able to get prescriptions the same as adults would. We also need more research into the seemingly endless benefits of cannabis and hemp.

Legalization of pot will help healthcare costs

Q: What do you think about the legalization of pot?

A: I think we need to decriminalize cannabis because that would also reduce healthcare costs.
For people to be able to get that life saving remedy at a reasonable rate. I think adults should be able to grow it in their backyard and I think cellars should be able to claim it as legal income.
